The Signs of Drunkenness.

The symptoms of drunkenness, be il
observed, are all paralytic, and are all
due to loss of nervous power and OF
voluntary control. The flushing of the
face shows the paralysis of the small
blood vessels; soon the slipshod utter
ance shows the want of voluntary con
troll over some of the muscles of articula-
tion; the double vision indicates the loss
of accommodating power in the eyes,
and the staggering gait shows that the
loss of control has extended to the larger
muscles lastly, the drunkard falls
PROSTATE in condition so closely re-
sembling apoplexy that the most ex-
perienced occasionally fail rightly to
distinguish the one from the other. II
the incorporate use of alcohol be per
sisted in there soon results degenera-
ton of all the tissues of the body. The
nervous tissues are, perhaps, the first to
suffer, and the shaking hand and totter-
ing gait are infallibly followed by a
similar tottering of the intellectual and
moral faculties. The stomach resents
the constant introduction into it oi
ardent spirits, and soon refuses properly
to digest food. The liver and kidneys
give out in a similar way, and the
impairment Of their functions causes
terrible dropsy. The heart gets fatty
and weak, the lungs lose their fresh
elasticity and soon there is not tissue
in the body which has not, in one way OF
another, succumbed to the ill-treatment
to which it has been subjected. IL The

Moorish Horsemanship.

Now and then stranger, the owner of
n good horse, and man having conf
dence in his own Eorsemanship, declines
to Join the bands of riders lie prefers
showing off on his own account. "Who
is he2 Where does he come fromT and
similar inquiries are heard as he rides
down the line of spectators in a pre-
paratory walk. He seems pleased rather
than the reverse to hear these remarks,
especially so when some rather uncompli-
mentaTy surmises are ventlred upon
about himself or steed Presently down
comes this unknown Knight in all his
glory Upright he stands upon his stir
rups-high above his horses neck-with
gun TO shoulder Now he points to the
right, now to the left, now to the front,
and then suddenly twisting round he lets
fly his gun as if at some pursuing enemy.
There is a murmur of applause as he
leisurely walks his horse back, and each
time as he returns he earns by some new
feat theapproving shouts of the delighted
crowd. In his last round his steed is
galloping faster than ever, but the rider
seems tired and careless. However, like
thought like flash of lightning he
is suddenly standing on his feet in his
saddle, with gun to shoulder. As the
weapon blazes away he seems to split in
two, and, with thud, he is once more
astride of his steed. which this time IS
not checked. but gallops oil with him,
back, probably, to Fee or Morocco, where
the Sultan has an army of such horse

Th0 s1o.o0o Prize FOR Iute.

It is well known that for some years
past, prize of $40, 600 has been offered
to inventors for the first ten bales of jute
grown and prepared for market in the
United States, at a cost which will ad.
nit of successful competition with that
from India. The principal and appar
emily insurmountable obstacle which
confronts all efforts in this direction it
the lack of machine which will prepare
the jute fiber for use at a cost low endegh
to offset the very cheap hand labor Of
India. In the jutc plant the fiber lies
between the pith and the bark. 1t is
necessary, therefore, to remove the latter
aud separate the jute from the pith, il
being also essential that this be done
without injury to the fiber, which is one
of the most delicate known. But as the
natives of India do this work for seven
to ten cents day, a substitute machine
would not only have to overcome this
matter of cheapness. but would have to
perform the task 10 as perfect manner
as is now done by Indian fingers, as well
as equal in other stages TO the work OF
preparation required before the fiber Is
ready to enter tbs factory Boston

Human Bodies Turned Into Stone.


Dakota is truly a marvellous and
wonderful country, says letter from
Rapid City to the Milwaukee Sentinel:
Not only wonderful in mineral and agri-
cultural resources, but it abounds in
geological formations that afford constant
surprise and study for the student in this
most interesting science. The Bad Lands,
located seventy miles southeast of this
point, have no equal on this continent as
receptacle for petrifactions of amphi-
bious animals The peculiarity of the
soil transforms flesh into stone, but this
power is not only confined to the soil Of
localities in the Black Hills. A case has
just come to the knowledge of your
correspondent that has never been made
public, and proves that many bodies
buried in the Hills have turned to stone.
The case at hand is that OF little son of
Mr.. Eugene Holcomb, prominent
citizen of Rapid City. Some years ago
the boy died and was buried in a spot
not set aside for general burying
purposes. When the city grew and
a cemetery was selected Mr.. Hol-
comb had large monument erected,
and the departed disinterred. The
family expected when the shovel of
the grave digger reached the casket it
would need replacing and had made
preparations to that end. The coffin was
reached and as the man endeavored to
place rope underneath to twist it to the
surface, he was surprised at its great
weight. Thinking it was the narrow,
contracted hole that reduced his strength,
he made several more efforts, but only
moved it few inches, and was compelled
to call for aid. Two men succeeded in
placing the rope about the casket, and
with hard pull it was brought to the
surface. An examination followed, and
upon the deceased being revealed it was
found that the body had turned into
solid rock. From gentleman who was
present and whose word can be relied
upon, it was learned that the parents
easily recognized the child. The body
had assumed dark brown color, the
features slightly shrunken, and he com
pared it with the appearance of mummy.
The eyebrows and hair were of lighter
hue, while the hands looked perfect. It
was the most singular sight he had ever
witnessed, and only the sensitive feelings
of the parents kept the matter from the
newspaper columns The body was again
inferred, and now rests peacefully in the
family lot for aught we know.
The strange transformation of this
body is not the only instance recorded.
The small number of dead removed has
not afforded an opportunity to learn how
common an occurrence this may be, but
learned gentlemen tell me that when the
dislnterring of bodies becomes necessary
in the Black Hills country many bodies
will be found turned to stone The
other instance related is that of Wild
Bill, murdered in Deadwood by Jack
Call ten years ago. Bill was buried on
the mountain side, and the building Of
residences compelled the unearthing of
his bones. What was the surprise OF his
friends when they discovered that the
famous frontiersman was solid stone
petrifed. This revelation may appear
strange to Eastern readers, but here it is
an open secret.
